Would you take your new job and immediately demand that the CEO construct it differently; change the corporate culture to your design; kowtow to your sensibilities on a list of issues; restructure key principles and operating dynamics to conform to your preferences and demands?

I doubt it. If you did, you probably wouldn't have a 2nd day on that job.

True. But I've been more than 35 years on the job of living.

CHILDLIKE FAITH IS THE REQUIRED KEY

So, You KNOW enough about all such to judge that God couldn't possibly decide it's qualitatively better somehow for individuals to learn over 70 or so years the art of being child-like instead of childish--through the intricacies of being sandpaper and polishing cloth for each other--hopefully while being in dialogue with God?

You KNOW enough about all such to judge that God is somehow stupid or illogical or whatever such to avoid starting with what He wants to end up with?

Have you ever sculpted? Wove fabric? Made a lot of pots on a wheel? painted landscapes? landscaped?

Evidently God thinks THE PROCESS is at least as important as "product" aspects of the end result. But obviously God doesn't know as much as you do. ( / satire)
